To complain about teacher weight comments

What was the context for the weighing ? Was it to calculate BMIs or similar? The teacher did offer a "non weigh" option by giving the children a generic weight to use instead.
I understand the risk around eating disorders but there's an equal risk around children not understanding what weight is and how to measure it and maybe a constructive conversation around weight of fat vs muscle and the pros and cons of BMI as a measure may be a good thing ?

We are in hell with it. Caused by me apparently making a throw away comment at a ski weigh in. Just don’t go there with weight. The stakes are far too high.

What was the teacher thinking? Nobody who works with teens can be unaware of eating disorders. I would have complained too.

Itsofunny I hope for your sake you are able to remain in the privileged position of thinking as you do. Many of us parents are not so lucky.

Useful?
Why. Most pf the time I don't know my weight. I see no reason to.

Dear god what the fuck is she thinking? This could trigger an eating disorder. I am normally on the teachers side but they need to not do this. It’s extremely dangerous.

Try to avoid getting teachers into trouble if avoidable. It's a very stressful job and this could wind up with your kid having loads of supply teachers.

Our weight is a fact and just like its useful to know your blood type, height, or shoe size, it's useful to know your weight.

If someone doesn't want to know their weight and finds it 'triggering' then that in itself is a red flag for disordered thinking.

This obviously a data handling exercise for the children, they weren't forced to weigh themselves or divulge their real weight, I don't see your problem. She had to tell them an 'average' or 'usual' or'normal' weight to put down so it doesn't skew the data too much. This is a very normal 'experiment' for kids to do, I think all mine did it too. I think you need to get over yourself a bit. You are marking yourself out as the crazy unreasonable parent!

The teacher was probably just trying to teach something about variability of human characteristics and using ‘real’ data that was relevant to the class. I’m sure there wasn’t a list put up that linked every child’s name and weight so nobody would have known how heavy anyone else was.

The teacher made a comment to the whole class which was intended to save children being made to feel uncomfortable about their weight, but that was still wrong because your daughter is concious of it. Teacher’s just can’t win!

I think the teacher was trying to be aware that some of the children will be self conscious of their weight so she was giving them an option. It's not like she singled your daughter out.

I have said this before but repeat, four kids brought up exactly the same way food wise, exercise etc DD1 very slim struggles to keep weon. DD2 very curvy but normalish weight DS1, has periods of putting weight on easily has to work on maintenance of normal weight, DS2 very very active and put we on easily. They are all so different but same family it is not just healthy eating and exercise it is all very individual. When they hit 11 I got rid of the bathroom scales so they couldn't obsess. Love to you daughter OP. The teacher(I am one) was insensitive and IMO wrong.

Educate your child about BMI, weigh and healthy life style - and ignore the teacher.

Oh ffs. There's healthy weight and there's not healthy weight. Stop being ridiculous.

I was a fat 11 year old and we were weighed. It was humiliating. Exactly 2 in years later I weighed less than that after a diet and looked like a normal 13 year old. I can understand the bad feeling this has caused OP

Did she definitely say normal or might she have said average?
I agree it’s not the best approach though. My kids school do activities like this with pumpkins and squash, not people
